TEST

Printed objects Summary
A review of the first printed objects gives an overview of Strengths
the print quality of this machine. The following images
illustrate the print quality of the printer: • Ease of use
• Print quality

• Compatibility with third-party companies’

Filaments
• Automatic Calibration

• Printing supports : Stratomobile (mobile)
et StratoSoftware (PC)

• Control camera
• Automatic charging and discharging device

The last word Makers or professionals who are looking for perfor-

mance could definitely be interested.
In the end, we believe that the Stratomaker machine is
a quality 3D printer, based on a simple, automated and
intuitive use. Its design, its robust and rigid construction
are its first main highlights.

We highly appreciated the ease of use of the machine
due to the automation of certain operations. Thanks to
the touch screen of the machine, it is possible to easily
manage settings and presettings.

However, some points still need to be improved. Despite
the automatic charging and discharging device, it is
not very easy to insert the filament in its tube. Since we
encountered some difficulties regarding these opera-
tions, we believe some improvements still need to be
made in this regard.

Despite these difficulties, the test of this printer remains
positive. The quality of the printed objects speaks for
itself. In our opinion, the beginner who is looking for a
3D printer to begin his 3D printing journey or the expert
who is looking for a machine to quickly prototype his
technical parts (PLA) will not be disappointed. Thanks
to its large print volume, this 3D printer distinguishes
itself from other machines in the same range.
